Test a claim that the mean amount of carbon monoxide in the air in U.S. cities is less than 2.33 parts per million. It was found that the mean amount of carbon monoxide in the air for the random sample of 64 cities is 2.38 parts per million and the standard deviation is 2.12 parts per million. At α=0.01​, can the claim be​ supported? Complete parts​ (a) through​ (e) below. Assume the population is normally distributed.

Question
Test a claim that the mean amount of carbon monoxide in the air in U.S. cities is less than
2.33
parts per million. It was found that the mean amount of carbon monoxide in the air for the random sample of
64
cities is
2.38
parts per million and the standard deviation is
2.12
parts per million. At
α=0.01​,
can the claim be​ supported? Complete parts​ (a) through​ (e) below. Assume the population is normally distributed.

A graph labeled t less than t 0 has a horizontal t-axis labeled from negative 4 to 4 in increments of 4. A symmetric bell shaped t-distribution curve is above the t-axis and centered on 0. A vertical line segment extends from the curve to the t-axis at a point labeled t 0, where t 0 is to the left of 0. The area under the curve to the left of t 0 is shaded.

A graph labeled t less than negative t 0, t greater than t 0 has a horizontal t-axis labeled from negative 4 to 4 in increments of 4. A symmetric bell shaped t-distribution curve is above the t-axis and centered on 0. Two vertical line segments extend from the curve to the t-axis at the points labeled negative t 0 and t 0, where t 0 is to the right of 0. The areas under the curve to the left of negative t 0 and to the right of t 0 are shaded.
